On June 23, my wife and I took a walk through Columbus Commons, the Scioto Mile and Genoa Park. Columbus Commons and the Scioto Mile are beautiful and useful additions to Downtown; however, there remain serious distractions to the riverfront.

The sanitary-sewer gas, particularly at the Town Street access, needs to be addressed. This has been an annoyance on past visits to the riverfront. We also enjoy our visits to German Village, but once again it is apparent the sanitary sewers are in serious need of upgrading. Also, Genoa Park was dominated by Canada geese and covered with their waste. It is a health issue that needs resolution.

German Village and the new public areas provide ambiance for our city and certainly are great and creative attractions. As the city enters its 201st year, it is critical that we give our attention to and upgrade the infrastructure of these public facilities.
